Republicans on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic are seeking answers after recently released emails indicated that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rushed the approval of COVID-19 vaccines and boosters to accommodate vaccine mandates.
“According to new internal U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) communications, it appears the Biden Administration may have bypassed, compressed, and possibly compromised the longstanding process for awarding a full biologics approval to a vaccine,” the legislators wrote in a March 10 letter (pdf) to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf.
